Summary
Significance: A rambling brick mansion with Gothic details, spacious but intimate in scale. Originally built as a Shingle Style house by the firm McKim, Mead, and Bigelow in 1879-80, later remodeled in brick and east wing added, possibly by Stanford White about 1900 when the house was purchased by William J. Matheson, a founder of the Allied Chemical Company. The house is built on the site of the Revolutionary-Era British Fort Franklin. Old earthenworks still enclose the courtyard.
